Ahmed Adnan Muhammad Ajam is a Syrian who is currently held in Guantanamo.

One of the justifications for holding Ajam was that his name was found on suspicious lists. But his name was the official documents spell his name multiple inconsistent ways, and it is unclear which name was found on that suspicious list.

Ajam arrived at Guantanamo on June 14, 2002. There has been no indication that he has been released. In 2009 and 2010 several European countries accepted Guantanamo captives who have been cleared for release, but did not release their identity.

Following his third annual Administrative Review Board hearing in June 21st 2007 Gordon R. England, the "Designated Civilian Official" cleared Ajam for transfer from Guantanamo.

According to Carol Rosenberg, reporting for the McClatchy News Service, on January 21, 2009, Ajam was one three Guantanamo captives who US District Court Judge Reggie Walton ordered to be released into the United States. Ajam was one of the first Guantanamo captives to ordered released in the USA.

Medical records

Ajam's weight was recorded 41 times from his arrival at Guantanamo on June 14th, 2002, and his final published weigh-in, on November 19th, 2006. His height was recorded as 68.5 inches, making the healthy range for his weight between 123 and 166 pounds. Ajam's weight weight records shows a precipitous drop of 63 pounds, from 178 to 115 pounds, between October and November of 2004, and a gain of 63 pounds the next month. October 2004 is the only time his weight was below the healthy range. He dropped eighteen pounds, from 161 to 143 pounds, between September 18th and September 30th, 2006. He gained 23 pounds by his next weigh-in on October 18th, 2006. His weight was within the healthy range on seven of his weigh-ins. The remaining 33 weigh-ins showed him as above the healthy range. His highest recorded weight was 192 pounds.

Habeas corpus


Ajam's was one of the captives included in Civil Action No. 05-cv-2386.

Following the United States Supreme Court's ruling in Boumediene v. Bush, re-instating captives' access to the US justice system Ajam's habeas was renewed by David S. Marshall, a lawyer from Washington State, who has traveled to Guantanamo to meet him three times.
